Robert Kennedy Jr. making moves in SC as he seeks to oust Biden from Democratic nomination
The State / MSN ^ | Aug 26 | Story by Joseph Bustos,

Posted on 08/26/2023 4:35:50 PM PDT by RandFan

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his staff want to project the nephew of a late president and member of a storied American political family is a viable and major candidate for the White House, rather than the longshot who’s polling nearly 60 points behind the incumbent president.

Kennedy’s staff introduces him to crowds and journalists as “Mr. Kennedy,” even though he introduced himself to a reporter as “Bobby.”

After Kennedy’s stump speeches, he takes a group photo to show the size of the crowd. Kennedy’s campaign manager, Dennis Kucinich, announces to a Greenville crowd in order to move the long line quickly for individual photos that people not ask for autographs.

Kennedy, who is challenging President Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination, is starting to hire staff and open offices in South Carolina, the state that propelled the president to the 2020 Democratic nomination and to the White House.

But the Democratic Party, which is rallying behind the incumbent president, has been questioning Kennedy’s campaign, including whether he holds the party’s values. Despite those obstacles, Kennedy is bringing his dark horse campaign to South Carolina believing he’s in a position to perform well in the Feb. 3 First in the Nation primary, knowing the Palmetto State could be the ballgame in the nominating contest.

The Democrats almost certainly have to replace Biden.

RFK Jr. is a leftist in general. Because he is not generally crazy (just wrong) makes him an even greater danger.

Kennedy will never get the nomination. The Democrats use superdelegates to keep their crazies at bay.

I don't have a problem with RFK Jr being a skeptic, but the DNC will never allow that because they know he doesn't take orders. Therefore, he won't be allowed to run.

The few times I have seen him speak, he has been impressive. If he had a normal speaking voice, he would win the 2024 election as a write-in. BUT, he does not have a normal speaking voice. And that is most likely why he has no run before.

How can he be 60 points behind Biden in the polls?

Biden is expecting to beat Kennedy the same way he beat Trump: An avalanche of voter fraud. But he's forgetting one thing. The election of 1960.
